A Writer’s Touch

“I must confess that I have

Missed you so much and

Can’t stop thinking about

All the wonderful times

We shared together.

I have been reading your blog;

And I must commend you for all

Of  what you are doing there.”

Syria

Syria in a long, enduring conflict;

This does not make  any sense.

How can a “leader” be so cruel

And watch thousands killed to death?

You have no shame or guilt?  Or is

This the way you view human life?

Put yourself in harm’s way and

Get the “feel” of torment and evil.

Put an end to this atrocity now-

Shelter the rest from this storm.

Work compassion into your soul

So that others can live in dignity.

A Toxic Home

Way too many fumes in the air

Family members are dysfunctional

Living without reason or understanding

Having a negative atmosphere

Creating a massive dust bowl

Can’t quite whether the storm

Damage will only get worse

Causing physical and mental pain

Anguish appears in order to cope

Only hope is to get out in safety

You See the Child’s Pain?

You can see it in their eyes

You can hear it in their cries

You can see it in their hunger

You can find it in their face

You can see it in their clothes

You can see it in their feelings

You can see it in their tears

You can find it in their temper

You can see it in their discomfort

You can find it in their thoughts

You can find it in their actions

You can see it in their injury

You can hear it in their language

You can find it in their attitude

You can see it in their sorrows

A Beating (Brutality)

Does this give you a “natural high?”

Is this how you get “power?”

Do you like to “humiliate” others?

Do you like to see “suffering?”

Why do you “laugh” about it?

Do you like to “hurt” others?

What did you “gain” from it?

What “circumstances” lead to it?

What “feelings” do you have from it?

What “apologies” or “guilt” is there?

What “dignity” is there in you?

What “motivates” you to do this?

Think… Before You React!
